The work has now reached the north end of Thirty-seventh street, which runs north from the water works, and is the last street cast of the river. The men have been working all summer and there are fow things gomg on about the city of more interest than the building of the varricade which is expected to keep the Big Muddy within its banks The men are divided into gangs of about twenty-five, and each gang has its particular work to perform. Tho first has the job of sinking the heavy piles, a distance of ten feot apart, along the bank of the river, down through the soft mud that lines the stream into the solid carth twenty feet below. A nydraulic grader follows the gang of pile driv his consists of a steamboat with # pumpon board worked by w steam engine, Water is pumped out of the river and forced by a terriflic pressure out through 100 feet or more of hose. The water le the hoso through a two-incn nozzle and is sent against the high banks that wark the course of tho viver. The earth is removed with wonderful rapidity, three men being able 10 do an amount of work in a day that could not be dono by a force of fifty men with shovels, This erader removes the earth at the side of the river and makes a gentie slope for a_dis- tance of about forty feet. The slope is then covered with a network woven of willows, which are cut farther up the river and brought down i rafts, The mat thus formed not_only covers the forty foot banl, but it projeets out into the river for a_distance of about sixty-five feat. It is then loaded down with heavy boulders, to prevent it from ris ing to the surface of the water as well as to keep the current from washing away the banks. The men who are doing all this work are paid $1.25 a day and their expenses. They nave board and bun on the steamboats and are enabled to spend their nights dreaming of ocean voy- ages while their friends in the city are wondering whero the next day’s provisions are coming from, “T'he work is progressing rapidly, but will 1ot be completed for some time to' come. It is hoped that it will be finished for at least balf a mile further down the river before cold weather sets in and puts & stop to the operations. n GREAT EIGHT-DAY SALE At the Boston Stor Ta.

The sandman came earlier than he expected, and he feil asleep by mistake with the pipe in his mouta. At 3 o'clock he awagenened by the smell of something burn- ing, and he was somewhat surprised to find that it was bis owt bands aad face, together with some of the bed clothes, that’ were on fire.

T, Smith's History i the Bluffs, The favorite topic of conversation on the strect corners all day yesterday was the lynching of George Smith in Omaha, the cause of the uncommon interest " being that Smith spent several days in the aty and county jails of this city a little less than a mouth ago for the same offense for which he suffeved retribution at the hands of Friday night's mob. The victim of Smith's lust in case was Dottie Gunn, an 1l-year-old mu latto girl living on Culoff Island. He was urrested in Omaha, but refused to come to this sile of the withoat a requisi- tion, Marshal Templeton made two trips to Des Moines, one to Liucoln and several to Omaha, making over 600 miles in all, before he succeeded in gotling the necessary papers. The requisition was finally secured and Smith was brought to Council Bluffs Sep tember 14 and lodged in the city jail. Ho was given a hearing before Judge McGee and bound over to await the actiou of the grand jury. He fuiled to be indicted, however, on account of a mere legal technicality, City Engineer Tostevin testifying that the place where the crime was committed was justover the old boundary line between lowa and Ne- vraska. He was accordingly discharged, only to get his doserts ou a soil and at the hands of an Omaba mob, Mrs, Gunn, the mother of the little girl who was assaulted by Smith on Cut-Off island, says he was guilty of a number of other deeds of the same nature, but that the parents of the jured children were afraid to complain to the authorities for fear of him doing them some bodily injury. Smith was feared by all his acquaintances on this side of the river, and during his imprisoument, while waiting for a trial, he behaved himselt in suck a way as to gam for himseif the ill- will of all the prisoners and the city authori- ties who had anytking to do with hin, Have youa home?

A very in- telligent missionary described it,in its former state, as a “paradise of naked women" for the resident whites, It was, at least, a platonic paradise. where Lothario ventured at his peril. Since 1500 fourteen whites have pesished on a single islaud, all for the samo cause, all found where they had no business, and speared by some indignant father of a family: the figure was given me by one of their contemporaries who had baen more pru- dent and survived.

The trader must be creaited with a virtue; he often makes a kind and loyal husband. ome of the worst beachcombers in the Pa cifie, some of the last of the old school, have tallen in my path, and some of thom were ad- mirable to tacir native wives, snd ono made a pairing widower. The position of a der’s wife in the Gilberts is, besides, un- usually enviable. She shares the immunities of her husband. Curfew in Butaritari sounds for her in vain. Long after the bell is rung and the great island ladies are contined for the night to their own roof, this chartered libertine may scamper and giggle through the deserted streets or go down to batho in the dark. The resources of the store are at ber haud; she goes arcayed like a queen and feasts delicately every day upon tinne meats. And she who was perhaps of no re- gard or station among natives, sits with cap- tains and is entertained on board of schoon- ers. Five of these privileged dames wera some time our neighbors, Four were hand- some, skittish lasses, gamasome like ctildren, and, like children, liable to fits of poutin They wore dresses by day, but thore wa v tendency after daric to strip these lendings and to career and squall about the cow- vound in the aboriginal ridi, Games of cards were coutinually - played, with shells for counters, neir course a8 mach marved by chéating, aad the end of 4 rouna (abgve all if & man was of the party) resolved itsclf into a scrimmago for ~the counters. Tho fifth was a matron. It was a picture to see her sail to chureh on a Suadiay, A parasol in hand, a nursemaid following, and tho bavy buricd in a trade nat and armed with a patent feeding bottle. The service was enlivened * by her continual supervision and correction of the maid. It was impossible not_ to, faucy, the bany a doll and the chureh some European playroom. All these children were legiti mately married. It is true that the cortifi cate of one, when sho proudly showed it, proved to run thus, that sho was “Married for One Night," and her gracious partuer was at_liberty to send her to hell” the next morning; but sho was none the wiser or the worso for the dastardly trick. Another 1 heard was marriod on a wors of mine in a pirated edition; it answored the purpose as wall as a haii Bible. With all these ullurements of social distinction, rare food and raiment, comparative vacation from toil und legitima marriage contracted ou a pirated edition, the trader must sometimes seek long beforé ho can bo mated. While I was in the group one had been eight months on the quest, and ho was still a batchelol Within strictly native society the old laws and practices were harsh, but not without cortamn stamp of highmindedness. Stealthy adultery was pumished with_dcath; open elopement was properly considered virtue in comparison and compounded for a fine in laud. The male adulterer alone seems to have been punished. It correct manners for a jealous man to _nang him- self; a jealous woman has a different remedy —sho bites ner rival. Pen or twonty years ago it was a capital offonse to raise & woman's ridi; to this day it is still_punished with a heavy fine, and the garment itself is still symbolically sacred. Supnose a pieco of to be disputed in Butaritary, the claimant who shall first hang a vidi on’ the tapu post has gained his cause, sice no one can re move or touch it but himself. Hived Out His Wives. The ridi was the badge, not of the but the wife, the mark not of her se: her station. ' It was the collar onthe neck, the brand on merchandise. Tho adulturous woman seems to have been sparea; woro the husbamd offended it would be u poor consolation to send his draght cat tle to the shambles, Karaitch, to this day, 1s his ght wives *‘his horses,” somo trader having explained to him the employ of these animals on farms; Nanteitei hired out his wives to do mason work.

The tmsband, on the contrary, chunged to view like a ka loidoscope.

It was pluia ho was u clothes horse: that he wore livery: that in a word, He Was His Wife's Wife. They reversed the parts indeed, down to the least particular. It was the husband vho showed himself the ministering angel in the nour of pain, while the wife displayed the apathyand heartlessness of the proverb- ial man. ~‘When Nei Takauti had a head ache, Nun Tok’ was full of attention and concern. When the husband had a cold and a racking toothache, the wifo heoded not ex- cept to jeer. It is always tue wou part to fill and light the pipe. Nei Takauti handed bers in silence to the wedded page; but sho carvied it herself, as though the page was not entirely trusted. Thus sho kopt the moucy, but 1t was he who ran tho errands, anxiously sedulous. A cloud o her face dimmed instantly his beamiug looks; on an early visit to their moniap’, my wifo saw he had cause to be wary. Non Tok’ had a friend with him, a giddy’ young thing of his own age and sex; and ihey haa worked themsslves into that stage of jocularity, when consequenves are toooften disregarded. Nei Takauti mentioned ber own name, [ stuutly Nan Tow’ held up_two fingers, h friend did likewise, both in an ecstacy of slyness. It was plain tho lady = had two names; and from the nature of their morrimant and the wrath that gathered on her brow. there must be somethiug tickiish in the second. The husband pronounced it; cocounut. from the hand of his wife caught bim in the side of the head, and the voices and the mirth of these indis- creet young gentlemen coased for the aay. young, ex- mostapproved his_ precarious spirits, Not old; her had' just Gilbertine Etiquette “T'he peovle of castern Polynesia are never at aloss Guette is absoiute und plenary; in every circumstance it tells them wiat to'do and how to do it.
